Sunday

Today was spent doing a few chores around the house, then heading to the Gun Room with modeleccentric and taogrl. After shooting up paper targets, we schlepped over to Logan's Roadhouse. It's a chain restaurant that tries to give you that quaint, shit-kicking Texas roadhouse feel. It features country style chairs, simple concrete flooring covered with peanut shells that were discarded by customers eating from the numerous peanut troughs throughout the establishment.

After that, I was dropped off, and I did some laundry, played some City of Heroes, and then made a peach tart. The main intent was to experiment with my spelt flour crust. You see, if you use all spelt flour, which has less gluten, it adheres together poorly, relative to regular flour. I wanted to see if I mixed the spelt with regular flour (1.5 cups of spelt with 1 cup of flour) would make any difference.

It didn't. Moral of the story kids is that you cannot expect an attractive crustada "no pan tart" with spelt flour. Use a tart pan. End of story.

I also managed to spend some time learning how to play Tenacious D's "Karate" on guitar.

Now I'm waiting for my sheets to dry while I watch Sea Lab on Adult Swim.

With Karate, I'll kick your ass.
From here to Tiananmen Square.
You broke the rules.
Now I'll pull out all your pubic hair.

Gun Room? You mean just a local place where they let ordinary citizens shoot firearms?

I want more of what that's like... I don't know anyone who's done it before, so I've always been curious what it was really like.

It's very simple. Barring the gunshots firing here and there, it's pretty laid back. You give 'em your driver's license to rent the lane(s). show them your unloaded firearm, bring ear plugs and protective eyewear (regular glasses work). You buy your favorite target (bullseye, silhouettes, etc.) sheets.

Then you go to your lane, load up and fire away!

Personally, since I'm new to guns, it's scary. Especially if the gun jams up. And when you shoot, shells go flying, sometimes into your face, arms, etc. But mostly it's no big deal. But some 9mm give quite a kick, especially if they are lighter. Yes, it makes sense to me now, but gone are the notions of smaller guns being easier to handle.
